She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless.. I miss her everyday.

my fav thing about her is she turned her abuser and told her story most dont ever do that I honor her so much for this one little act bravery. also some of the cloths in this movie i am jonesing for like that top she has on when we first see Kenny Rogers

[@lorimiller4301]

You know what ? It's the easiest thing to do, just open yourself up and let the truth come seeping out. Holding it in is much harder. It's the consequences that can be tough but it really is a huge relief. I cried the first 50 times but it got easier and slowly I'm getting my power back.

[@mumvictoria2757]

D4 Cyneburg.. I totally agree about her abuser father. I figured it was something like that when she first was reluctant to talk to Patsy Cline about it. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and confront. Much of the time people just don't want to hear about it, especially family, or they don't believe you

[@supachaloopa3611]

Dottie was one of those very rare singers who had pain in her voice that was so authentic when she sang. There are a lot of great singers out there, but very few can make you feel what they are singing and have you feel as if they are singing to you. Dottie was one of those rare singers. When Dottie got her second wind in the late 70's thru to the 80's, and put out some great songs, I remember reading an article that she was supposed to record a duet with Kenny Rogers- that song was "We've Got Tonight". The two had recorded duet albums together, so this was expected to be a hit for them, but unfortunately, in 1983 EMI wanted a new up and coming singer, Sheena Easton, to have a cross over hit and enter the country music arena. Dottie had recorded it as a solo already in 1979 and it is one of the best songs she ever recorded. Check it out-----> kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3iufYdmhKqsnqs

When a woman is very pretty and intelligent, and then marry 2 men who weren't up to her caliber, then add alcohol and or drugs, her life will be tragic. Unless you have been there and watch everything go up in flames, you will never understand a woman like this. No one deserves what she went through. When the dreams come tumbling down, there's usually no one around to make things right. The tough part is picking yourself up again and making a better life.

yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless.. I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together. seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia 🥺😢😢
